As I’ve said time and time again, change might have been needed, but it’s not the first change that was needed. There is no protection to the QB because the OL sucks ass. The only people who are worth a fuck for him to throw too is the TE Pitts and the RB Cordarrelle Patterson. Ridley last season before leaving for his mental break wasn’t playing like he had been, and now he’s out for a year because of gambling, so the receiving core is ass. The defense is horrific. Matt Ryan still played pretty decently and did things with the shit he was given. But idiots want to place the blame on him and him alone, while over looking every other fucking problem this team has. As I said yes, change needs to be done. It’s why you get a QB who isn’t exactly ready yet, let him learn from Ryan, then let Ryan retire a Falcon when the time comes. All while actually getting the team the pieces it actually needs to be a great team.

Indy has a much better team for him and I’m sure he’ll light it up over there.

You are not wrong. Atlanta's biggest problem was keeping their ex-GM Thomas Dimitroff for too long. The guy set the Falcons back years with his draft choices, but based upon what you are saying everything is horrific except the kicker so why keep Ryan around? Keeping Ryan around would mean he takes more abuse for no gain. The only sound reasoning to keep an older QB on a crap or so-so team is to just get by or as a placeholder ala the Patriots with Cam Newton.

Additionally, I get people wanted to keep Ryan but are we forgetting about his cap? For an older, better than average QB that will get Atlanta nowhere he takes up a lot of cap space. Hard to bring in weapons when you don't have any money. This is the same type of issue I expect Green Bay to have this upcoming season since Rodgers is holding that team hostage.

The reason I say keep him around, is so his replacement has someone great to learn from. Matt Ryan is probably one of the best QB of all time to not have a ring. A young QB learning behind him, and everything could do wonders. The cap hit tho I do see your point there, this will free up a lot of cap room next season. Which will be good. I’m hoping this isn’t a long rebuild because it sucks seeing a team I love do so bad. Surely when two others I’m a fan of (Braves and Bulldogs) just won championships. So it be nice to have all 3 be championship caliber teams.

Also I agree. Fuck Thomas Dimitroff

Hey @Falcons maybe this can be a good replacement

They will get him if he is still on the board but I'm afraid Houston, Detroit or Carolina will grab him first, which annoys me. I'm so tired of seeing Detroit in the top 3 of lottery picks every year.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Holy shit

 

[Chris]

That's a lot of picks damn

 

[Stellar]

This is good news for the rest of the AFC west, including the Broncos. Don't have to worry about Hill and his quickness. The Dolphins have been making moves lately but to me the biggest focus will be on if Tua can stay healthy this season regardless of who is guarding him.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Jesus fucking Christ

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I mean that is alot of picks but tell me one guy at 29th or the other picks that will make an impact like Hill does every play Chiefs. As for him going to the Dolphins I don't have faith in Tua but geez now you get Hill as your number 1 time to put up or shut up.

Hopefully Carolina.

True, but you have to have the belief that Tua can make the throws to him consistently. Can Tua even stay healthy enough throughout the season? Still don't like this trade though. There's no long term thinking to it when the Dolphins aren't built to win right now like say Indy. Miami is basically using Hill as the test to see how good Tua can be and if he's not the Dolphins are out massive money and a franchise QB.

Side note Kairi who is that wrestler in your signature?

For the Dolphins organization I hope they do because if not boy where do you go at QB then? Oh and the lady in my Sig is AZM she works for Stardom the same Company that gave us Kairi and Io Shirai.
